Southwell Trail
Station Road Southwell, or Forest Links, Bilsthorpe
Grid ref: SK 707 545 to SK 651 605

Once part of the grand vision to create a railway from Southwell through to Derbyshire. The dream was never realised and the Southwell line was short-lived. The abandoned line grew wild with shrubs, trees and flowers and is now a prime corridor for wildlife and a peaceful gateway into the Greenwood Community Forest and historic Sherwood.
You might be lucky enough to spot a common lizard basking in the sunshine around Farnsfield, or even one of the many butterflies found along the trail such as the Speckled Wood. Stop for a while to watch sparrow hawks as they circle above. For volunteer opportunities and events visit Friends of Southwell Trail
